Proposals & getting engaged: Telling people and announcing
Tell the people who matter most personally — parents, children, best friends — before anything goes online. Then share publicly whenever you are ready.
The key points
- Call or visit close family before posting
- Agree together when to announce and how
- Prepare simple answers to “When’s the wedding?”
- Don’t promise roles or invitations yet
Engagement announcement ideas
A photo with the ring, a short caption, or a printed card for grandparents.
Questions you will hear
“When, where, how big?” — “We are enjoying being engaged and will plan soon” is a complete answer.
